Title:                     "Scanning tunneling microscope studies of nanostructures built one atom at a time"
Abstract:               Nanostructures are an intermediate state of matter between isolated atoms and bulk materials, and can have very distinct properties that depend on the physical size of the structure, and the local environment in which the structure resides. We use a low-temperature, ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to study how the properties of nanostructures emerge at the atomic scale. Using this instrument, we can image surfaces with atomic resolution, probe electronic or magnetic properties with tunneling spectroscopy, and build structures one atom at a time. My group exploits these capabilities for studying problems related to next-generation energy and information technologies.
